Heat a #pot{} of water to a boil with a large pinch of salt. Once boiling, add @orzo pasta{8%oz} and cook ~{8%minutes} until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

Meanwhile, pick @basil{½%cups} leaves, discard stems, and thinly slice the leaves. Halve @lemon{1%unit}. Peel and halve @cucumber{1%unit} lengthwise, scoop out the seeds, and thinly slice into half moons. Thinly slice @garlic{2%cloves}. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @red onion{1%unit}. Halve, pit, and dice @nectarine{1%unit} and @peach{1%unit} into 1-inch cubes.

Lightly oil a #baking sheet{} and place the nectarine and peach on it. Broil under a high broiler or in a 500°F oven ~{5%minutes} until lightly charred.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp @olive oil{2%tbsp} in a #medium pan{} over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, tossing, ~{4%minutes} until softened. Add the garlic and cook another ~{1%minute} until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.

Remove pan from heat and toss in the orzo, peach, nectarine, cucumber, @feta cheese{2%oz}, a squeeze of lemon, and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Divide the orzo salad between bowls and sprinkle with basil. Enjoy!
